Also, I made a huge, serious mistake. We'll have to learn to live with it through this thread's entire lifetime. I can only promise this will never happen again.

Epic thread bro, get the fuck out of my general.
t. Mako
This recent patch change makes me wonder if the culture difference between russia and the rest of the western world that we literally think different from each other.
I mean, in war thunder, RU planes were never nurffed because the RU player base thought that german planes were op instead (so i left)
>>145559580
"No."
t. Mako
This thread is bad and you should feel bad
>poking around in https://warships.today/vehicles/na
>last 2 weeks, solo only
>all t4 ships have 50% winrate or better
>at all higher tiers some 3-7 ships have less than 50% winrate
Reminder that t4 ships are the best ships in the game. Make divisions with them if you want to win your t8 games!
t. Mako
>>145559776
We're surrounded by shitters and they're killing the game for good players such as myself.

>>145559646
>>GODDAMNIT WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS
>RU. I looked at 10 pages of discussion of next patch, and haven't saw anyone who cheered this change. They wanted to:
>>have a lazy clicking after work
I often heard about how the RU server is so much better and they're all agressive and brawl all the time. But from what we're learning about the reasons for patch delay, they're as passive/snipey as everyone else, if not more.
>RU planes were never nurffed because the RU player base thought that german planes were op instead
They were never nerfed because that'd imply making glorious proletariat tech is inferior to capitalist copies. Soviets on top of everybody is just historical.

Guys is it wrong to be sexually attracted to the border line?
T.mako
>>145562993
No, if you sexually identify as a blue line
>>145562993
I sexually Identify as a baBBie. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of sniping over my allies and dropping hot explosive armor piercing loads on disgusting shitters. People say to me that being a baBBie is wrong and I’m fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install tactical scope, 410 mm cannons and reverse capabilities on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Sniping_Mako” and respect my right to kill above and behind my allies needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a baBBiephobe and need to check your shitter privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

>POLAND
Premium ship ))))
>anyway how is the game?
Pretty fun as long as you stay away from Tier 10.
>>145564982
hrm. how is ranked? i might picka kongo for it, but as it is it doesnt take anything above tier 7? do premium ships count?
>>145565920
If you have to ask you probably shouldn't do ranked desu
>>145564689
britbongs and polan both only one ship
ranked is t6-7 now
t4-t5 randoms are breddy gud, t6+ is suffering
>>145565920
If this is your first time, you are already behind this season. You can still play, but you probably won't make Rank 1 unless you play at least 10 ranked games a dayand win all of them.
At the very least, it'll get you ready for next season since you can start out at rank 15 next time.
Ranked is T5-6, then T6-7, then T8, and finally T10 depending on your rank.
>>145565920
I wouldn't recommend ranked for a new player. And while the IJN BB line is great, the USN BB/DD lines are better for ranked.
And even if you have the ships, ranked itself its not much fun. People are really stressed out, and will blow up at the slight sign of the match not going perfect. It's not a nice environment to play.
Divisioning with other anons is fun.
>>145566495
>Ranked is T5-6, then T6-7, then T8, and finally T10 depending on your rank.
oh that's weird
when does it end?
should I just use minekaze and quit once I can't? I don't have anything above t6
t. Makoalso t. >>145566205
ill grind later for a ranked ship then. USN BBs werent fun for me, and now that i cant get norcal for ranked i might just ignore it and get senjo anyway. one thing i know is that i dont want to kuma or furutaka on any serious match
what happened to skills? am i doomed if i pick the wrong one? i remember a lot of research was done about how fire prevention and incendiary shells worked, did that changed?
>>145566893
>should I just use minekaze and quit once I can't?
Yeah, you will get a ton of flags, so why not
>when does it end?

Cyclones are the dumbest crapever. Once they happen more frequently and have no "oh, new feature"-feel about them, people will hate them with passion. It's a crapidea and results in battles were basically nothing is happening for 2 to 10 minutes. I'm glad there's ranked, because this crapwill annoy the hell out of me in random.

No problem desss
>>145573365
Kirishima has Iona's voice for some reason, I don't have Haruna yet
Going to try my hand at webm creation in a bit, had a pretty stellar moment in this match.
>>145573605
According to comments of that video, in game files there is Kirishima voice file, so I guess it's coming soon™
I gave up trying to win in this ship. Now my goal is to reach 100 games while keeping the wins at 9.

Why do people still want to kill CV from the game/nerf them even further? I always thought 056 gave us more than enough measures to counter cvs
>>145577525
Have a link to this, and can I edit the video itself down a bit? Started the recording a safe distance from the moment itself and there was some early chop for some reason.
>>145577637
because CV balance is still completely fucked up
most of them are overnerfed to the point of uselessness except for a few like the hak or taiho which are still completely broken
people complain about them and WG nerfs all of the other ones instead

>AFT for IJN CAs
You should still run the Defensive Fire consumable, but do understand that it's purely for self-defense. And as far as self-defense goes, a 6km AA range doesn't make too much of a difference from 7km of AA range.
DE is better for more inferno.

>Midway averages 41 percent win rate while having less damage than Hakuryu and Yamato
proof?
>>145591450
I don't think there were any changes to the consumable. The bonus you get for manually clicking the squads (without the Manual AA skill) was nerfed, though.
Manual AA is okayish. Not a bad choice for battleships with a lot of large-caliber DP AA guns like the Germans and Americans. So I misspoke earlier. Manual AA and AFT are both okay for BBs, depending on what the distribution of your AA dps is (long/medium/short-range AA damages).
>>145591719
>Eurobeat invented words!
Fuck off.
>>145591821
its mostly for a myoko but i guess the meta is no longer carrier RTS mode, wich is nice
still mad i didnt noticed vigilance was a thing before clicking on superintendent
>>145591753
>145524513
From last thread.
Essex is right behind it.
Its like that on every server but RU. Midway and Essex are near the bottom for winrates. Only on RU is Midway still decently with a 51 percent winrate. But there are even fewer CV players than any other server.
>>145592181
>no proof
Ok then.
>>145591753
I assume he's talking about NA where it's sub 41%, but it seems to be the same story on all the servers.
Top tier burger CVs are complete shite compared to their Jap counterparts
>>145592460
>less average damage than Hakuryu
What's wrong? I thought Midway was weak you fucking shitter.

>wahwahwa plz gibe back OP setups
>pls nerf AA again
Oh look, it's a CVnt
But. Actually, yes. US CVs are a bit shit becaseu their setups are all terrible.
But any competent Jap CV still rules t4, t5, t9 and t10.
t6 7 and 8 are almost balanced, apart from teh usual WG idiocy of 'higher tier automatically rapes lower tier', which thanks to the retarded AA mechanic makes any lower tier plane die immediately, and any higher tier plane not die at all.
>>145590168
What?
No I haven't. Where did you get that idea from?
>>145590521
Don't worry anon, this is the first time I've posted in these threads since either January or December. I don't intend on becoming a regular again.
>>145593261
>>145594296
How much of that is due to Hakuryuu forcing you to take at least 2 TB squads?
>>145595142
That is most of it.
The other parts is that US fighters are slow as fuck, and any competent IJN CV will simply outmaneuver them while raping the US bombers with his faster fighters.
So many CV problems could be solved if they just gave equal sized squadrons and allowed for CV players to choose their play selection for launch.
Then they could tweak plane stats by nation.
>>145578837
it's probably that cherry blossom port, it was in the client for a while not being officially added for so long for a reason

>>145597531
*plane selection.
>>145597531
>So many CV problems could be solved if they just gave equal sized squadrons
sure, usn cv would rule and it would solve all the problems :^)
>>145597703
Most retarded and infuriating thing I have ever seen done.
>>145597707
USN CVs would have IJN DB spreads with USN damage. USN TBs would have IJN wide spreads while IJN would have USN tighter spreads with no cones.
Thus setting each nation's flavor and strength. IJN would be torpedos. USN would be DBs.
Fighters would have to be changed to be a more skill based thing if they are all equal.
USN DBs with IJN DB spreads with 1k lb bombs would be really strong, but would have no area denial like IJN TBs.

>>145597703
That shit almost killed the game on relea- sorry I mean beta.
In combination with the retardedly OP carriers it turned a game that could have gone through a constant growth period of several years like WoT into a one-year-wonder that is pretty much stagnant now.

>mfw
at least someone loves me
>>145599915
I simply report CVs as bots if they do not move, and everyone who follows a CV around for several minutes, too.
Which doesn't mean that a US CA doing a delay circle at the spawn to check if the enemy CVs are setting up for an instant CVcide strike or somebody whose game crashed or who plays on a toaster and just takes a minute to load into the game should be reported.

>>145601361
No its not. All CVs at t8 and above have a 2 minute defensive fire. They don't need a fucking escort against planes.
>>145601439
I'm going to be sitting back at 21km in my Iowa to avoid being reamed by a Yamato anyways, may as well farm plane kills with the CV.
>>145588740
Is SA useful on a non-destroyer? Aren't you always detected?
For DE, that's about 1 fire per 30 hits; maybe 3 fires per game. Is that actually good? Or are the other 4-point options just worthless?
>>145602351
SA is good for cruisers, BB's and CV's.
Lets you know for certain when a DD is around, and to start moving to avoid torpedoes. Also lets cruisers know when to pop radar at higher tiers.

If you play a cruiser without SA, you are a fucking retard and will only ever help your team lose.
On BBs, it can become essential in the later stages of a battle, and it tells you when to use your WASD keys to not die to torps like an oblivious baBBie, and it can be used to make turns without swallowing every AP shell on this half of the map like a fucking slut.
Regarding DE, the important part is that it allows you to set somebody on fire again after he extinguished the first two fires. Fire damage is extremely strong because the devs #rememberTsushima, but it only works if you start multiple fires.
You have to look at what you will be playing, of course.
For most Jap cruisers, DE means you will set one fire per salvo.
This is what allows you to really roast a target
For most German cruisers, DE will not quite push you into the one-fire-per-salvo club, but on the other hand most German cruisers fire very rapidly. You might just as well take AFT and meme on the CVnts.
US and RU are somewhere in between.
If you're playing US cruisers you're doing it wrong and can take AFT because going full retard to farm CV tears is the only thing US CAs are good for.
RU should take DE, because being a pre-nerf Cleveland from t6 to t9 is just pure fun.

What's the best ship for lazy clicking after work? St.Louis? No carriers usually, can still WASD hack torpedoes, don't explode in half a second if I show broadside to something...
>>145606036
shy away from t3 cruisers, they tend to get lumped into t5 matches all the time and St. Louis in a t5 game is laughably bad
I'd recommend Clemson desu. Easily specced captain (SA, BFT, Last Stand is all you really need), moderately effective in a t5-6 match, deadly af top tier.
>>145606191
After those, you can aim for SI or Vigilance for tier 3 and DE for tier 4 if you really want maximum sealclubbing.

>>145606191
>>145608093
Well if I want to feel like I know what I'm doing I have Umikaze... but that's somewhat stressful because you have to run away from a lot of stuff.
I thought other destroyers wouldn't be lazy enough but now that you mention it Clemson beats everything up to and including Farragut 1v1 so the only thing to worry about is eating stealth-launched torps. So yeah, good idea.

Speaking of which, I'm like 30k XP off the Ibuki now, what can I expect?
Atago is one of my most played ships, how does it stack up to that? and to the other stuff that it gets matched with?
>>145610568
Colorado has a literal hole in her armor below the lower edge of the #3 barbette.
The barbette essentially ends one deck above the actual armor deck, so if you can put your shell there at an adequate downward angle it will citpen through that gap.
Maybe somebody who shekel'd for the pay2modelview site can make a screenshot of that.

Got DE on my Roon, and holy shit BBs roast at every salvo.
Serves them right for all the times i was bullied and citpussied.
Anyway, that skill has to be the most useful skill for a cruiser, my damage skyrocketed by a good 25-30% now that i set shit on fire yo.
My current build is DE + SA + FA + Expert Loader + Basics Of Survivability + LS + HA.
It's not bad, i have very fast repairs and i can switch ammo to catch those assholes citpussies when they broadside to shoot me, but i feel like i have many useless abilities and i might redistribute the points.
If i hadn't wasted many points earlier i would be very close to CE...
>>145611695
>>145611893
Lots of fun thanks to the low visibility, armor is on the light side so you're better off letting other ships fire the first salvo.
Just fade back into stealth whenever the enemy starts shooting at you, and fire again when they they shoot at something else.
You have a small invisifire window, and your detectability is low enough to actually use your torps somewhat reliably.
Just don't ever go in a straight line when there is a hotel on the map and they can see you.
Actually, don't go in a straight line whenever anyone can see you.
Also, your AA is ass.

Huh, about the only thing I had noticed about them in the past was that they got some new AA guns that the rest of the Japs didn't, I thought they were supposed to be half decent now?
>>145612867
It's the weakest of the t9 cruisers.
Worse than Iowa's.
If your barrage is on cooldown, a t9 or t10 CV can literally fly his strike straight over you and lose maybe three planes.
With barrage, you will most likely kill one squadron before they drop.
>>145613264
I get the point, but I wouldn't exactly say something having worse AA than the Iowa as being a measure of bad AA, considering it has one of the single best AA suites in the game.
>>145612160
If it's not a brawler, then why would WG, in all their wisdom, leave it the only mid tier BB with decent secondaries?

wave pls pay attention next time when i queue up a ship 2 tiers lower....
>>145612942
Well then, what would you change?
LS seemed pretty useful on lower tier bots but nowadays i rarely get hit at the rudder.
I can't vouch for HA and BoS effectiveness though.
I really couldn't do without is SA & Fire Alert because otherwise i get distracted and paranoid whether there's a baBBy shooting me or not.
Many say Vigilance for third tier skill but i rarely get hit by torps and these ships are so big that many times even seeing torps with a little pre-alarm is not enough.

Still completely traumatized by lexington being such a piece of shit. Can confirm that wg evidently don't know how to balance their game.
3 simple changes. Nerf ijn torp range. Nerf dispersion over long ranges. Make usn planes much tougher than ijn planes.

There is only one real measure of the effectivity of an AA suite:
Does it kill enough planes before they drop to make the carrier not attack you until you are the last target alive?
If the answer to that is 'yes', I'll call it good AA.
The Iowa, Montana, Baltimore, Des Moines and NC when upgraded are in this category.
Hindenburg and Roon get a 'maybe, sometimes, sort of good'.
Everything else is in the 'can maybe pop barrage to keep the CV away for 40 seconds, but then it dies anyway' category if it's a cruiser, or in the 'target' category.
We didn't make this whole 'AA is a meme' thing up.
The carrier literally doesn't give a flying fuck if he loses ten planes per strike, or the whole strike after they dropped their bombs and torps and he took 50k hp off something.
>>145620283
>"I want to be immune to CVs because they should never attack anything."
>>145618873
This is the first time ive looked at the game since January. I'm not seeing any reason to pick it back up and so I wont.
The only reason I played was for cv and that reason disappeared in quick order. Excessive citpenning and getting cv sniped every game just turned me off forever. I realise now that my lex has the aa power but I don't care it won't fix the issues with this game which are above and beyond one gimmicky power. Ijn survivability is within like 3% of usn but they get more squadrons and more control of the battle. The lex drove me in to negative credits which should just never happen.
If wg wanted me back they could offer a free tier 10 and 50million credits and it still wouldn't work. I will continue to check in rarely just to see how wg go with repairing the damage to their brand but eh I'm not crossing my fingers.

>>145620283
>implying planes ever die to AA
>>145620895
Only when you get these ridiculous notions out of your head and understand how CVs operate.
Let me explain.
If you get your way and "CVs are unable to attack me ever." Which is essentially right now any under tiered CV at t6 through t8.
Also "can lose 10 planes and no give a fuck" shows you have no experience at all with CVs. In absolutely no situation even for a t10 CV is losing 10 bombers a good thing.
In order for CVs to be viable, they need to be able to get hits off and they need to be able to survive with some planes without wiping every thing to a single fucking ship.
A CV will not attack anything that cannot be attacked nor will a smart CV pointlessly throw his planes into a grinder and accomplish nothing.
You won't see CVs and your AA will not be used as CVs wont ever go near you.
>>145621379
Haha I wonder if they'd ever review plane counts on cv to compensate for overpowered aa.
Inb4 shitters saying aa is bad its not if you ball up 3 ca together suddenly you can't even hit the closest one.
